GHOST STOPPING TRAINS.

The Railroad Employees at Republic. Ohio,
Excited Over Danger Signals That are
Displayed Near the Late Accident by
Unseen Hands.
TIrFIN, o., March 3,-The village Of Re
public has a ghost, which stops trains, and
there is great excitement there. A few
nights ago, when express No. 3 Cthe same
train that was wrecked January A., wa ap-
proachingthe scene of that horrible disaster,
the engineer saw a red light, the danger sig
nal ahead, and applying the brakes and re-
yersingthecngine the train cameto a stand
still on almost the exact spot of the great
wreck. Strange to say, when the train
came to a stop, the light had disappeared,
and could nowhere be seen. Before stop
ping, both the engineer and fireman noticed
that the light appeared to be carried by a
woman in white. Puzzled by the disap-
pearance of the signal, the conductor walked
over the track for some distance ahead, but
could discover nothing.
The trainthen backed to Republic station,
and the operator was questioned, but he
assured them that no signal had been sent
out. The train then proceeded on its way
cautiously, the engineer keeping a sharp
lookout, but nothing more was seen of the
mysterious woman. This strange appari-
ton has appeared on three occasions, and
has greatly excited trainmen. A posse has
watched the place for several nights, but
the ghost has not since appeared.

Various considerations more or less OF ecclesl-

and then the Cardinal closes: To sum up, II
seems 10 me plain that the Holy See cannot en-
terrain the proposal TO condemn the aSsocla-
uou. FIRST, because such a condemnation does
not appear to be justified by the letter or by the
spirit Of lis constitution, Of its laws or ny the
declarations OF its heads. Second. that sUch a
condemnation does not appear necessary IN
view Of the transient form OF the organization,
and Of the social condition Of the United States.
Third, that it would not be prudent
on account Of the reality OF the
wrongs Of the workinsmen and the
fact that the existence Of such is allowed by
the American public. Fourth, that 1t would be
dangerous 10 the reputation OF the church IN our

Ninth. that IL would be regarded asa cruel ploW

thrust that the considerations here presented
have shown sufficiently clearly that such would

the wisdom and prudence Of your Emlnence,

parish was thrown into a state Of wild ex-

and general JOY prevailed. Crowds of the
parishioners gathered and congratulated
one another upon the receipt of a cable
gram from Rome, addressed to DR.. Carey,
chairman of the Practitioners committee, as
follows:
"Your telegram was most acceptable to
the Sovereign Pontiff, who, returning
thanks, imparts most lovingly his apostolic
benediction to the Rev. Father McGlynn,
to you and to all the faithful of the Parish.
H. MoCENDI.n
Father McGlynn was highly delighted,
and attributed the message TO the repre-.
sensations of Cardinal Gibbons, who is now
at Rome. He also believes that the church
will be most lenient to the labor unions,
and that the Pope is being enlightened on
American matters. The parishioners look
for a speedy reinstatement of their pastor.

THE SUPREME BENCH VACANCY.
Secretary LAMAR is an able jurist and
would serve his party aud country well
upon the Supreme Bench of the United
States. lie is a Democrat whose DemOc-
racy is unquestiOned. But LAMAR is now
fast nearing his three score and ten years.
He is nov eighteen years older than was
JOHN JAY when he WAS appointed Chief
JuSticS and seventeen years Older than
MARSHALL when be WAS raised to this
high office. lie is twenty-fOur years older
than was JOSEPH IREDELL when made
Associate Justice, and thirty years older
than wa joseph STORY when appointed
to the anne position.
We take no stock IN the silly stuff some
Republican papers are saying about Mr..
LANAR's once thnshiing the Court in
his native State. This Was the time when
the local governments in the South were
in the hands of the disreputAble carpet
baggers and outlaws of the North and the
people were subjected TO such indignities
that an honest man could scarcely control
his wrath against the OPpressOrs. But We
would rather Mr.. LAMAR were a younger
man, should the President appoint him to
the vacancy on the Supreme Bench. At
the age he now is, it could not be eaSona-
bly, expected that in the natural course of
human events he would for many years be
able to discharge his duties as Associate
Justice. Indeed the time will soon come
when he can be retired on a pension, if he
80 desires.

an old man could hold it for but = few
years. If the Democracy wants to again
gain its prestige on the Supreme bench, it
should appoint men who can hold such
positions as long As possible. Ifan aged
